240. Chapter 240 Oscar: Rongrong, without you, how can I

"Rongrong, I'm about to die, but the only regret is that I can't become strong enough to marry you."

Oscar looked at Ning Rongrong in the air, only thinking it was an illusion, and thus said with a look of resignation.

"Roar!"

The wind demon wolf roared, no longer having the patience to toy with Oscar, and fiercely bit at his neck.

In the huge wolf's mouth, the foul breath sprayed onto Oscar's face, and the sharp fangs flashing with cold light rapidly enlarged in his eyes.

"Rongrong, goodbye."

Oscar despairingly uttered a sound, then tightly closed his eyes.

Suddenly, Oscar felt a stream of warm blood spray onto his face.

Could it be, could it be that someone killed the wind demon wolf and saved me?

Oscar instantly opened his eyes, only to see a huge wolf head tumbling down and smashing into his face, breaking his nose and causing blood to flow nonstop.

Immediately after, the wind demon wolf's corpse fell onto his body.

After the wind demon wolf collapsed, three figures appeared behind him in his view.

An extremely handsome man stood in the middle, while his familiar Zhu Zhuqing stood to the man's left, and his deeply loved Ning Rongrong now stood to the man's right.

Seeing this, Oscar's heart instantly felt like being cut by a knife.

Because, the man in the middle he knew was precisely Qianxunji, the Pope of the Spirit Hall.

A few days ago he came to Shrek Academy, publicly beat up Tang San, humiliated Yu Xiaogang, and took Zhu Zhuqing away.

And at this moment, Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong stood one on each side of Qianxunji, with both hands affectionately embracing his arm.

Oscar had already guessed that perhaps Rongrong also fell victim to Zhu Zhuqing's fate, being taken by Qianxunji.

Oscar kicked the wind demon wolf off his body with one foot, then stood up, forced a smile, bowed to Qianxunji, and said respectfully:

"Oscar greets His Holiness the Pope, thank you for saving my life."

Oscar could guess that Qianxunji saved him, because neither Ning Rongrong nor Zhu Zhuqing had the strength to instantly kill the wind demon wolf.

After all, even if he himself had been defeated by the wind demon wolf, only Qianxunji present had the power to instantly slay such a powerful wind demon wolf.

Moreover, even if Oscar guessed that Qianxunji had taken his Rongrong, he still dared not get angry.

Because, Tang San was brutally beaten by Qianxunji, and before that he had even made Tang San a eunuch.

He, Oscar, does not want to become a eunuch; although love is precious, people must be realistic—one cannot give up one's life for love, and in Oscar's view, that would be too foolish.

Moreover, Qianxunji saved his life; the grace of saving a life outweighs the heavens, so he ought to respect Qianxunji and should repay him.

As for Ning Rongrong choosing Qianxunji, that is also Qianxunji's ability.

Qianxunji's deep eyes fixed on Oscar's eyes, wanting to see if there was any killing intent toward him in his gaze.

However, Qianxunji looked for a while and saw not a trace of killing intent in Oscar's eyes, not even a hint of hatred.

Thus, Oscar harbors no hostility toward Qianxunji for taking his beloved woman.

Moreover, Qianxunji does not think Oscar is pretending.

Because he now possesses immense creator‑god‑level mental power; when he stares into Oscar's eyes, he can reach deep into Oscar's soul, making it impossible for Oscar to pretend in his presence.

Seeing this, Qianxunji stepped forward, patted Oscar's shoulder, and said:

"Not bad, well done, His Holiness the Pope quite appreciates it, eh."

"Thank you, Pope, for the praise."

Upon hearing this, Oscar hurriedly said with an excited face.

In his view, receiving praise from Qianxunji, the continent's strongest and a mighty Divine Abode, is a great honor.

After all, he is only a rank‑42 Soul Elder, while Qianxunji's strength is a realm he could never reach in his lifetime, a lifelong goal to look up to.

Ning Rongrong looked at Oscar and slowly said:

"Oscar, I……"

Just as Ning Rongrong was about to speak, Oscar directly said:

"Rongrong, I know what you want to say; actually there's no need."

"Let the past be; I wish you happiness. His Holiness the Pope is a very good man, kind to his women, and also very strong."

"If you follow His Holiness the Pope, no one on the whole continent dares to bully you."

"Well then, thank you for your blessing." Ning Rongrong said with a smile.

Seeing Oscar so sensible, the key being that he harbored no dissatisfaction, Qianxunji felt a bit embarrassed, and with a gesture summoned a black Soul Ring in his hand, saying:

"Oscar, this Soul Ring is a gift for you."

Oscar looked at the black Soul Ring in Qianxunji's hand and could feel that the soul power it contained had reached fifty thousand years.

Hiss, what a grand gesture.

Oscar's heart stirred; if he relied on himself, even if his strength later reached rank fifty, he could never obtain a fifty‑thousand‑year Soul Ring.

If he possessed this fifty‑thousand‑year Soul Ring, upon reaching rank fifty he could directly absorb it, and his strength would then increase greatly.

However, Oscar felt that one should not receive rewards without merit, and thus refused:

"His Holiness the Pope, the principle of no reward without merit applies, and besides you just saved my life—I absolutely cannot take this Soul Ring."

Seeing Oscar actually resist the temptation of a fifty‑thousand‑year Soul Ring, Qianxunji looked upon him even more favorably, and said:

"This is my appreciation for you; please accept it, otherwise His Holiness the Pope will be displeased."

Seeing this, Oscar no longer hesitated, directly took the fifty‑thousand‑year Soul Ring, then quickly knelt on one knee and said respectfully:

"Then thank you, His Holiness the Pope."

"Eh, well done; as long as you keep this childlike heart and continue striving, your future achievements will surely make you a god."

After Qianxunji finished speaking, he stepped forward, taking Zhu Zhuqing and Rongrong with him, and they shot straight into the sky, disappearing quickly into the air.

Oscar watched Ning Rongrong's silhouette vanish into the sky, could no longer bear the inner pain, his body instantly felt as if it had lost all strength, and he knelt directly on the ground.

Bean-sized tears instantly streamed down, immediately his face was covered in tears, he cried:

"Rongrong, Rongrong, how can I live without you?"

They say men do not shed tears lightly, but only when they have not yet reached the point of heartbreak.

How deeply Oscar loves Ning Rongrong, only he himself knows.

At this moment, Oscar only felt his mind go blank, his heart as if being cut by a knife over and over.

Oscar just stared blankly at the empty sky where Ning Rongrong had disappeared, hoping she would return to his side.

But, after kneeling until darkness fell, with tears and sweat flowing, he still did not wait for Ning Rongrong.

Seeing this, Oscar slowly rose to his feet, but unsteady, he collapsed onto the ground.

This was because he had knelt too long, his legs gone numb.

So, Oscar crawled up, simply turned while kneeling, directed his gaze at the Swift Wind Magic Wolf that had been dead for a while before him, and said with a ferocious expression:

"Swift Wind Magic Wolf, return my Rongrong."

While saying this, he directly bit into the corpse of the Swift Wind Magic Wolf.

He appeared mad.
